Jewel

ABSTRACT

A jewel (M) comprises a main element ( 1 ) formed by a metallic cable ( 2 ) provided with two opposite ends (E 1,  E 2 ) adapted to be connected together in a loop by the connection unit ( 4 ), and battery means ( 7 ) carried by said connection unit ( 4 ); said element ( 1 ) supports a plurality ( 5 ) of LED means ( 6 ) connected to each other by said cable ( 2 ) and adapted to be lit when said element ( 1 ) is connected in a loop by said connection unit ( 4 ).

This model relates to a jewel.

In particular, the present model is advantageously used in the field of costume jewellery/jewellery as a wearable item, provided with great ornamental value. The purpose of this model is to provide a jewel, in particular a bracelet, easily wearable and having light points which guarantee a great aesthetic value.

The structural and functional features of the present model and its advantages over the known art will be clearer and more evident from the claims below, and in particular from an examination of the description that follows, made with reference to the attached drawings which show a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present jewel, wherein:

FIG. 1 shows the present jewel in a schematic view; and

FIG. 2 shows the present jewel in another schematic view.

With reference to the enclosed FIGS. 1 and 2, M globally indicates a wearable jewel, preferably but not limited to a bracelet, employed in the fields of costume jewellery/jewellery and the like.

The jewel M comprises a main linear element 1 formed by a metallic cable 2, which is covered by an appropriate coverage material 3 (e.g. plastic or equivalent), and is provided with two opposing ends E1, E2, adapted to be connected to each other in a loop by an interlocking connection unit 4.

Along the main element 1 is arranged a plurality 5 of lighting LEDs 6, which are then electrically connected to each other by cable 2 to define an electrical circuit C.

Such circuit C is adapted, in use, to be electrically closed at the moment when the ends E1 and E2 of the element 1 are easily connected together in a loop by the mentioned connection unit 4: in this way, thanks to battery means 7 housed in the connection unit 4 and related to the above ends E1 and E2 of the element 1, all 6 LEDs can be lit, giving an elegant aesthetic appeal to the jewel M. 

1. Jewel (M) characterized in that it comprises a main element (1) formed by a metallic cable (2) provided with two opposite ends (E1, E2) adapted to be connected together in a loop by the connection unit (4), and battery means (7) carried by said connection unit (4); said element (1) supporting a plurality (5) of LED means (6) connected to each other by said cable (2) and adapted to be lit when said element (1) is connected in a loop by said connection unit (4).
 2. Jewel according to claim 1, characterized in that said element (1) is covered by coverage means (3) made of plastic or the like.
